11-19-2022 Ride

Solo ride through the neighborhood the normal way, to RB Rd and then to the 4S Target through the 4S Ranch neighborhood.  Met up with the Bisikleta riders, here's who rode:  Ray, Cam, Robert, Kamal, Chris C., Charlie, Eric, Arnold, and Nel.  Out Camino del Sur to San Dieguito Rd and down into Fairbanks Ranch, forming a decent pace line on the way over to El Camino Real.  Then it was over to Via de la Valle to get to the coast.  I wasn't pushing too hard but felt okay on this stretch.  Took the Coast Hwy up to the normal La Costa turnaround, and I fell behind, again, on the stretch leaving out of Solana Beach and down by the coast.  I waited at a light while others went through, and I ended up suffering alone while the others were bunched up ahead of me.  Finally caught up with them in Encinitas, and from there I was in or near the leaders.  Rest stop at the usual 7-Eleven before heading back, finishing first up the climb into Solana Beach by just outlasting Arnold.  We rode through Del Mar and then the others turned off at Carmel Valley Rd while I continued on to ride up to Torrey Pines and meet Ann and the church hiking group after their hike.  I took the inside route after tightening up my chainring bolts, then decided after getting to the top to ride down the outside route and ride up again.  Second time was challenging but not terrible, although I could feel it more in my quads.  Once to the top, I kept going, getting to La Jolla Village Dr and turning right on Villa La Jolla Dr, hoping to find a convenience store to get a drink and a snack.  No luck, so I turned around and rode back the way I came, turning onto Torrey Pines Scenic Dr to ride to the Gliderport, but there wasn't much going on there.  So I headed back to where Ann had parked the car, riding around there before continuing on to a place by the golf course where I sat and waited for them to show up.  Then it was back to the car and packing it up before we headed to Las Olas for lunch.
